Luxury travel for staff irks Auckland councillor

Fresh from controversy over high salaries for his colleagues, Auckland Council's chief executive Stephen Town has blocked councillors from voting to halt luxury travel for staff. A council report has found more than a million dollars was spent on international travel in the twenty months to August 2017. Just over half of that was spent on 62 business-class flights. Yesterday Mr Town rejected a motion from Councillors Efeso Collins and John Watson to debate the matter. Mr Collins joins us with his reaction.
